GLASGOW: India paddlers Sharath Kamal and Anthony Amalraj marched into the men's doubles semifinals at the Commonwealth Games on Thursday.
Kamal, who put up a disappointing show in India's poor team championship campaign, remains in the medal hunt with a convincing win over England's Danny Reed and Sam Walker 12-10 11-6 7-11 11-8 in the quarterfinals held at the Scotstoun Sports Campus.

However, Kamal and Shamini Kumaresan experienced a bitter loss against Reed and Kelly Sibley in the mixed doubles quarterfinals. The Indians fought back well after losing the plot early but eventually went down 7-11 9-11 11-5 14-12 4-11.

Soumyajit Ghosh and Harmeet Desai lost 12-10 11-9 11-8 11-8 against the mighty Singapore pairing of Gao Ning and Li Hu in another quarterfinal.

Earlier today, rising Indian table tennis player Manika Batra fought her way into the women's singles quarterfinals while Kamal entered the quarterfinals of men's doubles and mixed doubles.

Batra, the 19-year-old from Delhi, recovered from a two game deficit to beat Canadian teenager Anqi Luo 11-13 11-7 8-11 11-2 11-7 11-9 at the Scotstoun Sports Campus.
